​​​​​​​​​​​​​​mad​a​

mada is one of the national payment systems owned by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), which was launched in 1990. It enables the latest electronic payments technology to reach everyone in various regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through multiple channels, such as point-of-sale devices, ATMs, and e-commerce sites. They are all linked to a central payment system, which in turn redirects the financial transactions carried out by them to the card issuer to complete the payment transactions within a few seconds.

MADA  
 

mada works on developing methods of electronic payment, aiming to enable electronic payment services and provide the highest standards of flexibility, speed, and security.
